About This Book

The volume traces the development of the Roman See and its claim to spiritual authority across the tumultuous early medieval centuries, following papal correspondence, doctrinal and diplomatic encounters with the Byzantine court, and the challenge posed by the rise of Islam. It examines how interactions with wandering nations, Lombards and other regional powers, and imperial politics shaped the Church's role as a unifying force, and shows the practical and theological steps by which the Holy See asserted independence and provided leadership in forming the political and religious contours of Western Christendom.
